This automated, double-sided fiber laser marking machine workstation is perhaps the fastest method.
This machine uses one computer to control two MOPA fiber lasers that mark two opposing sides of a workpiece simultaneously. Because the laser direction is not aligned with the tabletop, this machine does not have the typical honeycomb aluminum or marble tabletop found on laser marking machines. Instead, the tabletop is drilled according to the customer’s tooling drawings to provide mounting locations. The customer will install and adjust the tooling themselves. They were satisfied with the machine and signed a contract for the next two batches, totaling eight units.
To accommodate the customer’s marking range, the machine uses two guideways driven by servo motors that can be set to synchronized mode. Compared to lower-cost stepper motors, servo motors provide higher acceleration and micron-level stopping accuracy, which significantly improves marking efficiency over time. Additionally, to ensure personnel safety in the event of an emergency stop, we adjusted the switch panel position after consulting with the customer’s engineers about the loading and unloading method in order to avoid the work area. The customer appreciated our attention to detail and care for their needs. They invited us to visit neighboring companies and introduce ourselves.
Application Context for This automated, double-sided fiber laser marking machine workstation is perhaps the fastest method
Fiber and MOPA laser marking projects are often used for metal parts, anodized layers, nameplates and electronics housings. The key is to match laser power, pulse width and beam delivery to the desired contrast, depth and cycle time.

FAQ
Can CNMarking test my own samples before I choose a machine?
Yes. For most marking, cleaning and welding projects, sample testing is the fastest way to confirm contrast, depth, speed and fixture requirements before final configuration.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Please send the material, part size, marking or cleaning area, required result, production volume and any automation or traceability requirements. Photos or short videos of the current process are also helpful.
